Herschel Walker could join the Dallas Cowboys...
Herschel Walker could join the Dallas Cowboys this season if the United States Football League decides to delay its fall season, his agent says.
“Herschel will be playing this fall, either for the (New Jersey) Generals or the Cowboys,” Peter Johnson told the Dallas Morning News. “I can’t get into specifics about his contract, but he is not going to wait for the USFL if they don’t play this year.”
Walker has a 4-year, $6-million personal services contract with General owner Donald Trump, but Johnson said that Walker will declare himself free of his USFL obligations if the USFL announces it won’t play until the spring or fall of 1987.
Walker was drafted by the Cowboys last year in the fifth round.
